It is based on the technical status quo of robotics and AI at the constitutional period and defi nes the main fi elds of action and frame- work conditions for Austria from the Council’s point of view. In accordance with its mandate, the Council is an advisory body set up by the BMVIT whose recommendations are publicly available to all stakeholders in politics, society, business and science. The Council seeks cooperation with other relevant bodies such as the Bioethics Commission, the Council for Autonomous Driving and the Advisory Council of the Digitisa- tion Agency. Mandate of the Austrian Council on Robotics and Artifi cial Intelligence 1 The Austrian Council on Robotics and Artifi cial Intelligence identifi es and discusses current and future chances, risks and challenges arising from the use of robots and autonomous systems (RAS) and artifi cial intelligence (AI) from a technological, eco- nomic, social and legal perspective. 2 The Austrian Council on Robotics and Artifi cial Intelligence thereby creates a strate- gic framework for BMVIT's own RAS and AI activities and drafts strategic guidelines. These guiding principles include, inter alia, opinions and recommendations on I. creating economic framework conditions which promote innovation and techno- logy and which ensure that the potential of RAS and AI are fully leveraged to en- sure the competitiveness of Austrian industry; II. creating a legal framework to ensure safe use of RAS and AI for individuals and society as a whole, in compliance with the legal framework of the European Union; III. developing measures to identify, mitigate or prevent potential danger or harm to people and society caused by RAS and AI at an early stage; and IV. planning public activities to inform the public on RAS and AI and to responsibly address society's fears and concerns. 3 The Austrian Council on Robotics and Artifi cial Intelligence regularly substantiates the strategic guidelines in the form of recommendations and implementation propo- sals to the Federal Minister for Transport, Innovation and Technology. Shaping the Future of Austria with Robotics and Artificial Intelligence 5 6 Austrian Council on Robotics and Artifi cial Intelligence Executive Summary The use of robotics and artifi cial intelligence (AI) in various areas of our lives will lead to fun- damental changes in society. These new technologies have the potential to solve the great challenges of our times in many areas of application: dangerous, monotonous, unhealthy or strenuous activities can be performed by robotic systems; AI can contribute to better early diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and robots can support the autonomy and quality of life of the elderly and/or people dependent on care. Robotics and AI could help to sustain the international competitiveness of Austrian companies and thus create and secure jobs in the long term. While discussing these chances we must, however, not forget about the ethical and social challenges that remain to be solved. These new technologies will not only entail changes and new requirements in the working environment: they will also raise ethical, legal and social questions that must be discussed and resolved by Austrian decision-makers from every area of society. We have identifi ed the following cornerstones for an Austrian robotics and AI strategy 1. Smart Governance All Austrians should benefi t from robotics and AI technologies. We are convinced that a broad participation of all stakeholders—in particular of citizens themselves—in the process of defi ning this strategy is needed to increase the acceptance of new technologies. This can only be achieved if people's needs and fears are taken into account. 2. Smart Innovation We need a targeted research, development and investment policy to lever- age the potential of robotics and AI technologies in all areas of application and thus tap into new markets and discover new fi elds of application. In doing so, the specifi c structure of Austrian economy, characterised by small and medium-sized companies, has to be taken into consideration. This will strengthen the economy and secure jobs and prosperity in Austria. 3. Smart Regulation A stable and secure framework is needed to ensure the trust of economic players and the positive development of markets. The use of robotics and AI must guarantee the safety of people and comply with ethical standards, fundamental human rights and European values. Wherever existing norms and standards are not suffi cient to ensure this, new European standards and norms must be developed without stifl ing socially benefi tial innovation. We need new and creative ways to resolve the trade-offs between innovation and regulation. Shaping the Future of Austria with Robotics and Artifi cial Intelligence 7 In this white paper, we identify—based on the current state of research—four fi elds of action which we consider the top priorities for developing a smart strategy for robotics and AI: Technology, R&D Workplace and Law and Society Awareness Raising, and Economy Qualifi cation Communication and Public Relations In these four fi elds of action, the White Paper addresses challenges and presents recom- mendations, which are to be understood as impulses for the initiation of a strategy creation process as summarized below: Smart Governance • Due to the complexity and pace of technological developments, we recommend an incremental strategy process ("strategizing") with institutionalized learning processes and feedback loops. • The strategy process should include continuous research and technology monitoring. • The Council recommends the broad involvement of stakeholders from all affected areas (e.g. research, technology development and production, business, education and train- ing, health, safety, housing, mobility) in this strategy process. • The Council recommends integration with the strategic activities currently taking place on the European level (European AI Alliance and AI High Level Expert Group). • The Council recommends the wide-scale inclusion of Austrian citizens into the develop- ment

  • KEBA Information
    KEBA AG Press Release December 4, 2014 KEBA moves into the Spanish postal market with the sale of 60 KePol parcel automats to Correos Following the example set by Germany, Austria, Denmark, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and France, the Spanish postal operator Correos has decided to expand its customer services with KEBA parcel automats. These will operate under the brand name “CityPaq” and a total of sixty systems are to be installed in 2015. E-commerce in Spain Even though e-commerce plays a smaller role in Spain than in other European countries, online trading is nonetheless gaining ground. Indeed, the “ Online Shoppers 2013” study comes to the conclusion that as in the remainder of Europe, e-commerce is also growing steadily in Spain. Moreover, Spain is the nation with the widest distribution of smart phones in the EU with 88 per cent of the population using the Internet several times daily and the forecasts for the national e-commerce field are just as positive as those for the rest of the continent.1 And although Norway and Sweden are likely to remain the two states with the highest share of e-commerce in Europe (76% and 74% respectively), the upward trend in Spain is set to continue. KEBA supplies the parcel automation solution Correos is well aware of these trends and has therefore opted for a parcel automation solution from KEBA, the leading specialist in this field. Following initial agreement in July, a contract was recently signed for the purchase of 60 KePol automats. KEBA is supplying Correos with a mix comprised of KePol FS outdoor and KePol LS indoor systems.

  • KEBA AG Press Release Linz, 4 July 2014
    KEBA AG Press Release Linz, 4 July 2014 Largest web shop in the Czech Republic opts for KEBA With a sales revenue in excess of EUR 400 million, Alza is the largest electronics retailer and e-commerce pioneer in the Czech Republic. Alza offers over 60,000 electronics, home appliance and computer technology products to its customers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia via its online shop. It shares ALL STAR status, holding a place in the Top 10 most admired Czech companies. Now, Alza has chosen to strengthen customer experience by adding KEBA parcel automation to its existing delivery and collection services, offering a convenient new way to collect goods 24-7. Online orders and parcel collection from “Alza Box” The Alza success story is based on the growing e-commerce market in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which it has strongly influenced into becoming one of the largest in Europe. During the past twenty years, the company has been able to steadily raise its sales in tandem with an increase in the number of parcels. Alza actually launched its business model with an online shop for electronics, but now offers goods of almost every description. Until now, Alza customers had to either pay for delivery or collect their parcels from one of the company’s stores, which like post offices, have limited opening hours. However, the company recently decided to offer customers the additional option of collecting parcels from remote parcel stations, called “Alza Boxes” and as a result, has ordered thirty systems from KEBA. Of these initial thirty parcel stations, more than ten were very quickly installed and put into operation.

Business result for the 2012/2013 financial year In the past financial year (April 2012 – March 2013), the KEBA Group generated sales revenues of EUR 150 million. This represented an increase of 16 per cent from exactly EUR 129.7 million to EUR 150.1 million. As Gerhard Luftensteiner, the KEBA AG CEO explained at today’s press conference in Linz: “This increase in sales revenues can be traced to an excellent positioning in the Industrial Automation Business Area and market share gains in Banking Automation.” KEBA’s positioning is further strengthened through a clear focus on branch segments. This allows the precise recognition of the demands of both respective markets and users and the development of correspondingly optimized solutions. In the Industrial Automation Business Area, important OEMs in the mechanical engineering and robotics fields were obtained as customers.
